Re: URGENT: Need PDF of MS' input [Was Re: Seeking earlier feedback from MS]

Chris,

To put it very simply what we have all have preferred from the

in PLAIN TEXT the way we have handled the rest of the
communication around this.

Is there some reason you guys can't manage to find a way to do that?
